If he can reuse the tower, harddisk, Windows OS, (and SSD), this would be a viable build:

Otherwise, with £500, he would have to go with i3-6100... which I leave this to others to comment because the value-for-quality will start to drop.

Take a look at ASRock H97, i5-4590, and RX 480 4GB/8GB, or R9 390 (if your PSU allows)

And FYI, I I have the MSI H97 PC Mate, i5-4690, GTX 960 4GB, 16 GB Ram. I am playing at 80 fps/medium pre-set/1080p in Open Beta.
